  Hearth Magic - As new mother with little ones, I often felt isolated and disconnected from my home and tasks as a mother. I felt as though there was “something” missing from our lives. Was there a secret ingredient that God gave successful and happy mothers that I was lacking? I know from conversations with many mothers that this is a common concern. We know that life at home will never perfect, but is it possible to create Magic within the rhythms of daily life and festival seasons of the year? Absolutely! A sense of rhythm, tradition and magic was a part of my grandmother’s home. This “feeling” was as reliable as expecting the air to be crisp in October, or knowing when the full moon would appear- it was also just as magical. She was not a “Waldorf Mama” but she understood that children thrive on a nourishing diet of family traditions and celebrations. As I look back on my magical childhood, it is easy to see which traditions nurtured our family and have stayed with me.

My Etsy shop, Hearth Magic, has been a wonderful outlet for me to create beautiful paintings, home helps and festival guides that celebrate where I have come from and the type of home I strive for, inspired by all of the wonderful things I have learned along my homeschool journey.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all of my readers and sponsors for your support.

Keep Calm Craft On {crafting on}

The act of creating, in one form or another, preserves my sanity amongst the chaos of life. This explains why I always have more than one project going at a time as well as why my housework tends to fall behind. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and keeping calm with, too. What are you creating? What is keeping you going? Snap a picture or two and share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.

I just couldn't resist knitting with our black bean dyed yarn and had to cast on something straightaway. I searched for a fun pattern and ended up choosing yet another baby project - a small things romper. I still adore the first one I made so why not make another? I was originally thinking this yarn might get used for K or L since they both love blue but two skeins wasn't really enough to make them anything, so to the baby it went. It does seem like a nice winter blue to match baby's eyes *ahem* Okay, okay, I am just trying to justify yet another baby knit!

What are you working on? Happy creating!
